WHAT A DIFFERENCE A FEW OF 

 THESE MAGIC TABLETS MAKE! 



Picture a plant — struggling gallantly but vainly — in a 

 feeble, fruitless search to find food in soil that contains none. 

 Faded, drooping, flowerless, you call it a failure. But is it? 



A few of the magic plant food tablets called Plantabbs 

 would have made this pathetic little plant a big success! 



We now sell and recommend Plantabbs. Odorless, clean, 

 easy to use, they're Trojans for work. A forkful of stable 

 manure won't do as much for your plants and flowers as one 

 of these concentrated, odorless white tablets ! As they dis- 

 solve in water almost instantly, they make a wonderful liquid 

 fertilizer, and when used in this way make the most worn- 

 out soil rich and fertile overnight. 



PLANTABBS are so perfectly balanced, so chuck full of 

 growth producing, health giving, energizing plant food, that 

 many florists and professional growers purchase them in 

 quantities for their own use. 



A season's supply for your 

 garden costs only $3.50 ; other 

 sizes sufficient for potted plants, 

 sell for SI. 00, 50c, and 25c per 

 package. Include in your next 

 order.
